Thanks for sharing your mods. One thing I wanted to share after just procuring a '23 Hawk DLX is that the correct term for these is actually "Enduro sport", not "duel sport" like I originally thought -or that they mean the same thing. Duel sport denotes motocross capable bikes that have been made street legal with lights and mirrors and such. Enduro sport properly defines these bikes that you and I have as being much more tamer versions not meant for Evil Knievel stunts and jumps of a duel sport. My take away from all that is that you do not want to exceed the limitations of these bikes -keeping all of that in mind. I always go with "bumps -not jumps", anything beyond that is at your own risk.
Just ordered mine tonight off Amazon. Also ordered the Nibbi Carb with the cold air intake and the JFG exhaust. Also got a helmet I’m geeked should be here in the next 11 days 😁
Congrats, it was my first bike and I do like going out and riding it. If you are looking for info here are some sites that can help: mymotorcycleblog.com/tbr7-help-upgrade-sites/ Now you are part of a very weird club, have fun!!!!
Had to go through my emails(early 2021), but found it. I ordered it from Superior Power Sports. I got the bike, and later the MCO, which took longer. So nothing bad or good to say other than it was a smooth process.
Two different bikes, but both fun. As for the Vader, love the feeling of riding a slow bike fast. Engine screaming at 9k and no speeding tickets on back roads. :D
I’m doing a review on mine this weekend!! Mines a 2019 I got it this summer also doing a review on my 06 Suzuki sv650 which I bought after first 2 motorcycle’s
Looking forward to your review. Well if this bike wasn't my first motorcycle, I do believe I would be more critical of the TBR7 build. However it's a fun bike to play with, and I do believe I disclaimed my bias toward the TBR7. :D

Yeah, I definitely went wrong with the JFG exhaust. It's so ugly with the plate decals.
Thanks for all you've contributed!!
With my bike, ugly is good. Thinking about adding a milk crate on the back to add to my TBR7's look. :D
Thanks for the video, Tom. Where did you order from, if you don’t mind me asking? Amazon has a 400 dollar shipping rate right now.

You did a good job mansplaining everything, thanks for that. How does it compare to the vader on the funOmeter scale ?
